Retired fed. Dog lover and all other kinds of animals and birds. Interest in polisci. Hanging on to my sanity while we live thru the age of idiocy. When I was in my 30s I thought I knew everything. Now that I am 82, I realize I really don’t know anything.

I just held a rally in Plano, TX — a red part of the state — and 1,000 people showed up.

Many said it was their first political rally ever.

There’s something happening in Texas…

"I was this pedophile's biggest supporter until he was personally mean to me" seems like a bit of an own goal.

Elons taken a chainsaw to the federal government effecting everything from food safety to bank regulation to cancer research. I hope I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure we’re about to see why it’s cheaper to have regulators rather than to have actual catastrophes.

First they came for the migrants
But since I was not a migrant
I said nothing
Then they came for the federal workers
But since I wasn’t a federal worker
I said nothing
Then they came for me
And there was no one to speak for me.

“Illegal immigrant” was their first success.

Now comes
“Illegal boycott”
“Illegal protest”
“Illegal votes”
“Illegal posts”

Until the “illegal” is you. #3E

How is Europe Part of Your American Experience? A Saturday Prompt as the U.S.-Europe relationship splinters

The Statue of Liberty, rising above New York Harbor, was a gift from France and originally known as “Liberty Enlightening the World.” While Trump is betraying Ukraine & splintering our western alliances, let’s remember our profound relationship with Europe. www.americaamerica.news/p/how-is-eur...

If they are deleting the Enola Gay from the vocabulary, are they also going to remove the actual plane from the Smithsonian? Dear lord help us from these fools!

Here’s the pitch:

They hire back the accidentally-fired bird flu folks *and* the accidentally-fired nuclear security guys BUT they put them in each other’s jobs — also by accident!

It’s TRADING PLACES meets FAILSAFE meets CONTAGION — and maybe also FREAKY FRIDAY!

Need a title.

Find your happy place. In a garden, or under a tree, watching waves or clouds, or talking to the moon Listening to children play or feeling a breeze ..... find a happy place and make sure to feel joy. in hard times, in cruel times it is part of fighting back ... keep the energy of joy going ...

The Relay Race of Democracy I keep returning to one core thought: civics education really matters.

3/But Trump does not have the huge mandate he claims. He won with 49.8% of the popular vote. The election was not a romp for Trump. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

The WAPO has become another Fox News. Shame that such a great newspaper has become garbage in the Age of Idiocy that we are living.
